If you’re stylish and chic and want to let everyone know about it, the Leslie Hat’s for you. It’s the latest of the super bulky, seamless hat from Little Sweet Knittings Designs. Just as the button was originally used for embellishing a garment, Leslie has a lone accent button to please the eyes.

Instructions are written and with charted stitch pattern.
